PSP (videos)

Few developers have a large enough catalog of praised franchises that they can make entire games featuring a variety of their own iconic characters. Nintendo is obviously the leading company that has made a habit of doing th...

I am hugely looking forward to Resistance: Burning Skies. I'm eager to see just how good a first-person shooter feels on the PlayStation Vita, and Resistance is a good a series as any to take the first step.

It was last PAX East where Lollipop Chainsaw debuted to the masses and it's going to be this PAX East where we get just one more last look before the release this June. The game has come a long way since last PAX and I can't...

Those traitorous traitors at Traveller's Tales have added some of that disgusting dialog that you hear in all these modern games nowadays to LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes. But that's okay, at least they got The Joker's voic...

Namco Bandai's devotion to bringing The iDOLM@STER to everything it can get its hands on isn't just limited to fighter jets. Now its coming to race cars, specifically the ones in Ridge Racer Vita. In the grand trad...

Here's an actual game announcement to come from Sony's PS Vita Videogame Heaven event. Namco Bandai is working on another Super Robot Wars game for the handheld.
If you're unfamiliar with the series, it's a tactical role-playing game. It's about robots. Shocking.
No other details accompanied the announcement. It's just been revealed that it's happening.

Here's another mysterious PS Vita announcement for you to ruminate on. It's called Discovery Project and it's about ... something.
Kadokawa Games joined forces with Sony to tease this mysterious project, which seems to...

While most of the Vita's "announcements" today have been fairly unimpressive, there has at least been one intriguing tease. It comes courtesy of Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune, who revealed he's working on something "am...

At the fairly unremarkable PS Vita Videogame Heaven event, SEGA announced that Phantasy Star Online 2 would no longer be just a PC game. A PS Vita port is in the works.

The PlayStation Vita Game Heaven event is done and ... well ... here's a Japanese date for an HD re-release of something that was already re-released late last year. It's the most important story from the event.

The official word from Capcom has come down regarding the recent hack and subsequent Internet explosion of Street Fighter X Tekken's 14 DLC characters, which have been exposed as being actual on-disc content. First is t...

[Update: Looks like the full versions of the DLC characters (like Elena) are being unlocked on the 360 disc via hacking, as seen above. Sorry folks, but the video was already taken down, but now we have a videos from the sam...

[Destructoid's Director of Communications Hamza Aziz asked Jonathan Holmes to make a show called 'Sup Holmes?' so that Destructoid could later sell a t-shirt that says 'Sup Holmes?' on it. This is that show. Download the...

We managed to talk to the first guy in line and a bunch of other customers about the games they're getting, waiti...

I'm still waiting for a really good Doctor Who game. The BBC-produced episodic adventure game released last year does not qualify, as far as I'm concerned, but there's hope for The Eternity Clock. Due out next mont...

The Jimquisition has criticized many game publishers, especially Electronic Arts. Jim Sterling's wise judgements have been just and fair, but not altogether inclusive. EA isn't the only weasel in the lavatory, and it's high ...

Retro City Rampage creator Brian Provinciano promised a development update for February 20, so here it is. Is he not a man of his word?
The most important bit of news is that, in addition to WiiWare and Xbox Live Arcade, Ret...

While this trailer for Mortal Kombat primarily shows what's new with the Vita version of the game, I can't help but want to pull out my console copy and play a few rounds.
We're shown what happens when Scorpion and Sub-Zero ...

I'm not good at much. I've been making music and playing piano for more than 30 years, so I'd like to think I'm okay at that. And not to toot my own horn, but I know my way around a kitchen. But beyond these things I'm near ...

Still no word on whether the pants-tightening 999 sequel, Good People Die, will be hitting our shores this year, but there's no reason why we can't get ourselves just a leeeetle bit excited.
Above is what appears to be the g...

On February 22nd, the Vita is going to have a couple titles that feature a master ninja. There is, of course, Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus, which features the legendary Ryu Hayabusa, but there's also another ninja stealth title t...

So, I don't exactly follow basketball to any degree, but I remember hearing about the whole lockout controversy that prevented the NBA from starting last fall. Apparently the NBA has finally come to an agreement though, beca...

Above you'll see an emulator running Sonic and Knuckles on the PlayStation Vita. Woah. That was quick! But, before you get too excited, know that this is actually going through the Vita's PSP emulator, so its emulation insid...

You know what could have made PSP game Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker better? A second analog stick. Do you know what has a second analog stick? The PlayStation Vita. Deduct -50 points if you were a smartass and answered "PS...

I only got a small, early taste of Shinobido 2: Revenge of Zen earlier this around E3 year, so it was hard to see where Acquire was going with this Japanese stealth/action title. This new trailer gives us a much better look,...

Here's a trailer for a game that someone in the comments of this article first brought up. I thought about the best way to phrase the title of this post, but in the end, the name of the game itself says it all.
Listen to Me,...

Here are two new trailers for the PS Vita launch title, Dynasty Warriors NEXT. They showcase a range of playable characters from the kingdoms of Shu and Wu, for those who care about such things.

In what could quite possibly be called the worst timing ever, XSEED's latest localization effort is making its way to the PlayStation Network later today. Corpse Party, a horror adventure title, follows a group of teenage st...

Greetings, travelers! In case you missed it, The Destructoid Show went live today and it was totally nuts. By which I mean, it was a totally normal episode in every way with the exception of one giant purple dildo.

Remember that strange, completely random trailer for Corpse Party showing a bunch of school students being killed? Yeah, well XSEED has decided to explain exactly what the game's about in their recent PlayStation Blog p...

There's always that one game, the one that finally helps someone decide if they're really going to invest hundreds of dollars into a brand new gaming system. I've been hesitant about getting the PlayStation Vita, as nothing ...

So good. Look at it! At this point, Ubisoft really can't give us anything else to make me want Rayman Origins more. The graphics whore in me is all ooh-la-la about the visuals, but it's the 2D platforming roots at my very co...

[Not sure what Mash Tactics is? I've included a clip from the most recent episode to show you just a glimpse of what you've been missing, you daft fool! You can see all of Destructoid's previously-aired live shows ...

Guys, I did the worst thing ever. Ever. I think I lost my review code copy of Persona 2: Innocent Sin for the PSP. I probably did. I get a lot of game-related mail and it seems that I misplaced the envelope that P2 was in. D...

It's an absolutely horrific thing to watch. A young man with a broken jaw, being robbed by a bunch of hooded chavs who surrounded him like sharks. The violence that's rocked my home country this past week has made me feel pr...

They say history repeats itself, but that's not always true. Just because something happened with a videogame console over five years ago, that doesn't mean it'll happen again. The past is not the future, and the present is ...

At E3 this year, Destructoid brought you a close look at Street Fighter X Tekken with the Destructoid vs Capcom tournament between Jonathan Holmes, Seth Killian, and myself. Though it was the first time that Jonathan had pla...

This is too ridiculous not to post. Any game that allows you to shoot down mammoths with modern-day guns is a game I must cover.
